Writer of the Month - April

This month, I'm awarding myself the winner's mug for being more on the ball than ever before. Look, it's the first of May! (just) Maybe I should preemptively choose next month's winner as well, this being organised lark is an absolute doddle. I'll be going on strike and playing havoc with the London transport systems afterwards though, they're trying to make me drink a brew made from supermarket own brand teabags to facilitate budget cuts. Imagine.

Anyway, without further ado...

I hope he hasn't got the hump, for the winner of this month's award is Pinxit with the hilarious and massively popular London man first victim as deadly Sahara menace falls from sky. Well done, Pinxit it's really outSANDing, ARID you glad you've won?

Alright, alright. I never signed up to write the comedy.

The runners up are Ludicity (Narnia receives scathing Trip Advisor review), James Pluside (West warns Moslem world to ignore Blairite extremists), Wrenfoe (Glasgow to be 'nuked' during Commonwealth closing ceremony) and bookiesfriend (Village in turmoil as plumber arrives on time)

Re Sinnick's point of what to do about late excellence - just noting the body count for Lucidity's excellent IDS 30th April effort...

Pinxit still wins by a very large margin but I wonder if we shouldn't have a '7 day rule' for the Grand Judging Ceremony (if anything, to give NAL a lie-in a the end of the month). Winner announced (in future) on the basis of the score one week into the new month.
